Sumptuous, supple but tough natural hide. Photographs of this unique jacket from my personal collection have appeared on several web sites since the late Eighties.
Virtually impossible to escape from, but comfortable to spend a lot of time in.

Made entirely from top quality soft natural tanned leather; well-riveted and sewn double-thickness bands of the same hide reinforce the garment across every stress-point. A comfortable jacket to wear for long periods - and that’s what it will take if you’re thinking about making an escape attempt.

Tough hide straps close the back of the jacket, and double crotch straps plus a solid collar strap make this a totally confining, body hugging experience.
Under-arm strap loops prevent the crossed arms moving up or downwards.
A buckle at each sleeve-end allows the separate linking strap to be used in several frustrating ways.

A three-strap 'Pinion strap' set can be added to totally immobilise elbows.

A hood in similar dense but supple leather doesn't attach to the jacket but, being eyeless, does help to concentrate the mind and inhibit attempts to escape - and add to this Escape Artist’s nightmare (or dream come true).
